By the way I had a day in New York today and nipped in to Uniqlo to escape the rain. Got some socks and yet another Breton type top. Socks were $2 per pair, top was $15.

At 2,90 in Europe, their socks are very good value for money, a substantial poly/cotton mix, way better than Zara or Mango.

BTW, some time ago someone here -mr. Bond maybe?- complained about the difficulty to find well priced vertical striped socks; well, Uniqlo has got them at 3,90 /pair, albeit in just two shades of grey:

Not so much the cost , Sydney , more like the lack of availability . .

If I'm not wearing socks that match my outfit , my default colour is always red . I think it is a late Mod thing and it shows my movements better when dancing . I was on a course recently and I got comments about my sock choice from "normals" , mostly complimentary. .

I've got tons of socks, as I need (yes, those obsessions of ours) them to match my trousers (or if it can't be well done, my shoes), but I've never liked bright red shoes, too flashy, I prefer burgundy. Maybe I'm so lousy a dancer I want my movements to go unnoticed

I remember a good friend of mine from the revival days always wore red socks, it was pretty usual those days (as were white socks).

Yes , I recall you saying once you literally have hundreds of socks and the ones l seen look good , especially of the verticle stripe variety.I don't do red shoes either I have oxblood Sebago's and I have oxblood boots of course . I do remember the white socks thing that went on in the 8ts but the only white socks l have now are for cycling in , of course. I don't even wear white socks with my kilt now. .

Sorry, I meant socks, not shoes, to me red shoes are something out of The Wizard of Oz or a 70s blaxploitation movie really. Well, tbh hundreds of socks would be a bit of an overstatement, 30 pairs would be closer to the truth. But white socks I do wear, usually with very casual clobber (for instance, Jack Purcells, chinos & a t-shirt)
